Does plaster cloth being not completely dry effect covering with gypsolite or should I wait until plaster cloth completely dries?

We don't cover it at all... we put some paint in the water and then use textured spray paint in the can. If I was going to layer Gypolite on it, I wouldn't think it would need to dry first.....

This is two layers of plaster cloth on the frame, then spot piece to add detail before paint and then ground cover materials.
